Wow amazing. how many times did we have to bomb the Aussies before they surrendered. The frogs sure took it out on some poor fuckers with bow and arrows in the pacific. The incident in india in the 70's was obv a collective vindaloo fart coz they did not register a hit for nearly 20 years when the next door neighbours got in the race. Took about 15 mins to watch coz I kept rewinding

a debate about which is "worse" hiroshima or 9/11 is pretty much the same as whether its worse to get shot in the lung or stabbed in the chest.

I think the motive behind them is the main consideration, there is no denial that 9/11 was motivated by the beliefs of a select maniacal few who'd brainwashed their personal ill-guided conception of there own heritage onto others in a bid to see some sick bloody vendetta through, big headiness and political benefit first with no consideration for innocent livs. Hiroshima was a military decision taken with the belief it was for the "greater good of the allies", although it was pretty obviously heavily influenced by revenge for pearl harbour + some bold US political intentions towards the soviet moreso than anything else which does actually push it as close to the boundary of terrorism as you can get imo.

not that this is relevant but the recent stuff in Oslo is equally as harrowing as them both imo

You missed some other factors behind the decision to drop the bomb on Japan (especially the second one on Nagasaki).

[redarmi]

I'd so much rather be shot in the lung!!

LOL - I thought exactly the same......

Lots of folks talking about the possibility of an anniversary attack. Why do they think Muslim extremists are going to carry out an attack in accordance with the Gregorian calendar?
